CaptionThe Answers Issue

David Hobby / Baltimore Sun

Life is full of questions. Is there a God? What are next week's lottery numbers? Will this stain come out? Answers, on the other hand, are harder to come by. To help, we solicited readers' burning questions about life, Baltimore and life in Baltimore via Facebook, Twitter and Reddit, and assembled a panel of local "experts" to help answer them. Our panelists, who you can learn more about later in this gallery, are Rodney Henry, DJ James Nasty, Lyndsay Webb, Ed Schrader and Kenny Frankly. Together, they shine a small but bright light of knowledge into the dark abyss of unknowing. We should all sleep better tonight.

Is it OK to key the car of someone who double parks right next to an open parking spot? -- Spockhammer via Reddit I've never been a proponent of keying. The sound is one of those frequencies that makes me cringe just thinking about it. Plus, as a veteran of the stage, it bothers me that the key-er's handiwork doesn't "read" from very far away. For these reasons, I like to keep a can of shaving cream (or, as I like to call it, "vengeance mousse") in my purse for doling out parking lot justice. Not only can you literally spell out a particular offense on the hood of a culpable vehicle, but the spring/summer heat will help bake your words into the paint job, leaving an equally literal lasting impression. -- Lyndsay Webb
